You were, of course, an excellent resource for kids, parents, and counselors - but I want you to know that I considered you my expert “go to” who ALWAYS kept me (and my administrative colleagues) on the right course. You were always there as the fixed point in our world to provide the best advice (wanted or not sometimes). Personally I greatly appreciated this, thank you again. The degree to which you will be missed is incalculable. https://padlet.com/heather_esposito/3h3t2c1ty6onhfor/wish/595922580 Enjoy your well earned retirement, but my friend, you will be missed by me greatly.  Chuck]]> 2020-05-27 00:42:32 UTC https://padlet.com/heather_esposito/3h3t2c1ty6onhfor/wish/595922580 Congratulations! https://padlet.com/heather_esposito/3h3t2c1ty6onhfor/wish/596634597 Thank you for all that you have done to support our students over the years and your retirement is well earned! - Jennifer Tan]]> 2020-05-27 10:36:36 UTC https://padlet.com/heather_esposito/3h3t2c1ty6onhfor/wish/596634597 CONGRATULATIONS!!! bgarritybantle https://padlet.com/heather_esposito/3h3t2c1ty6onhfor/wish/596721680 Barb,

Enjoy your retirement.  Thanks for everything you have done for our teachers and children at West.  Stay healthy.   Your absence will be missed at West.  Do all the things that you couldn't do while serving our community.  Thanks again and sending long distance hugs.

Congratulations on ending this chapter and beginning the new one. Thank you for all of the support and guidance you have provided all of us over the years. Thank you for always be available to talk me through things, and support our students and our staff through some of the most exciting times, and some of the most difficult. Your compassion and expertise will truly be missed. Enjoy your retirement and doing all of the things that you love with all of the people that you love. 
Thank you and be well.

You were an amazing resource (esp. in a crisis), and I will never forget the authentic care, empathy, and compassion you displayed to our most vulnerable in need. As I've always said: "Only God saved more than you..."We had so many wonderful conversations about the state of "teens" today, so if you ever want to have one of those conversations remember don't call me...
All the BEST in your retirement,

Your friend,

You will be sorely missed here at West, but I know you have only great things to look forward to in this new chapter of your life.

Your impact on the West community will live on long after you leave. 

All the best,

It has been a pleasure being office neighbors and working with you the past 13 years. You have been wonderful to work with and I truly appreciate all the help you’ve given me, our colleagues and especially all the students. Along with knowledge and expertise you’ve also always brought a kind and calming presence to situations.
I will certainly miss you and all our chats, but I know that you will enjoy retirement and I’m happy for you. I hope you get lots of long walks and snuggles with Chanel and long bike rides with Steve. We’ll miss you!
